Student Explains Support For SC Officer Ben Fields

On Oct. 30, the students at Spring Valley High held a walkout. Weeks after a viral video put their school in the middle of a national controversy, 100 students gathered at the school’s atrium to speak out against the firing Fields. The students were allowed to voice their opinions and returned to their classroom 10 minutes later. Shortly after, they created the hashtag #bringbackfields on Twitter.

We recently reached out to a student at Spring Valley High via Twitter to get her thoughts on why students decided to stage a walk out.
